So it has Started to Leak out
this is a copy of an article from the Chicago Sun Times from 1/1/03...pay VERY close attention to the last paragraph:
Creed singer enrages fans January 1, 2003 BY BILL ZWECKER SUN-TIMES COLUMNIST Advertisement Creed may be one of the most popular bands on the planet, but the rockers--particularly lead singer Scott Stapp--really infuriated a ton of fans at Sunday's Allstate Arena concert--generating a bunch of calls and e-mails both to this column and my Sun-Times colleague, pop music critic Jim DeRogatis. ''You won't believe what went down,'' e-mailed Dan. ''Saw Creed. What a letdown! Scott Stapp [has] ... less stage presence than Ozzy [Osbourne], [he] sang flat, ran off stage three times, twice for at least five minutes, missed words, had audience singing instead. ... I had front-row seats in section 116--saw the whole franchise fall apart before my very eyes.'' Then there was this from Lore Rizzo, who bought tickets for her daughter's 18th birthday. She also reports her daughter thought Stapp was, well, possibly under the influence of something. ''At one point [he] even laid down on the stage.'' Several observers mentioned that Stapp's appearance was particularly disturbing given his frequent comments about the evils of drug and alcohol use and his strong religious roots. ''I think this was one of the worst concerts I've ever attended,'' e-mails Tom Wassman from Elgin. ''I've been a huge Creed fan for a long time, but Stapp really stunk. He sat DOWN for a big part of the concert!'' Kevin DeSanti couldn't have agreed more. ''Clearly one of the worst shows I've ever attended. ... It was more than an embarrassment, it was robbery of the fans' hard-earned money. You know you're in trouble when the audience is booing the headliner.'' At press time, a spokesman for the band was unable to comment on the concert or the complaints. Creed has canceled several shows in recent months, including a high-profile televised gig from San Francisco's Alcatraz Island, with Stapp claiming acute laryngitis. The group had only two shows remaining before the end of the year--the Chicago gig (which had been postponed from earlier in the year) and an appearance Tuesday night in Las Vegas as part of the 2002 Billboard Music Awards. "I'm just kind of making it through right now the best that I can,'' the singer told the online music news service Launch.com on Dec. 14. "The healing process starts when I stop singing. So, it's good enough to live up to my standard at a live show, and if it's not I'll come back and play it again.'' could this really happen? or will he just ignore us here in chicago? |

THANKS for posting this, as sad as it was to read..
Last paragraph seems straight... His voice will heal when he stops singing...yeah - doen't mean forever! And, if the show wasn't up at the live concert, he would go back (as he has before.) Couple other comments... * They DID play Alcatraz...a short list, and stressed voice, but they didn't cancel. * And, what did they mean by "CLAIMING" acute laryngitis?

I posted this article last night, exposing Greed for the popmous, arrogant posers they are. They don't care about the fans. Everyone wants to cut Stapp some slack. Well, if I went to work drunk, I would get fired. People wouldn't "undertand." He goes to work drunk where thousands of people have shelled out their hard earned caysh and completey disrespects them. Meanwhile, you people continue to buy their albums and allow them to live like KINGS.
You are all SUCKERS Creed is a disgrace |

Geez, there should be some sort of IQ test you have to pass to become a CreedFeed member...
IF YOU DON'T LIKE CREED, WHY WASTE YOUR TIME ON A CREED FAN SITE?????? GO TO A CREED BASHER SITE - YOU WILL BE WELCOMED WITH ARMS WIDE OPEN.
